Phang Nga Bay in Phuket, boat trip from James Bond island to Panyi Fishing village in Thailand - 50 photos with Canon 5D MKII

The Bay of Phang Nga - An amazing place to visit by boat from Phuket Island

For my 30 years old birthday, we decided to visit the Bay of Phang Nga, located on the North West of Phuket Island in the Andaman Sea, in Thailand. We actually followed a single advertising panel we saw on the highway after the bridge leaving the Phuket island on the North, which took us after 30 minutes of car within the jungle on a fantastic modern pier (Klong Khian Pier) with no one there! After 2 minutes, a man came with his motorbike, and offered us to rent a boat for the day to visit the Phang Nga Bay. We were not sure about it but since he was really kind we said OK. A fisher man came with his daughter and took us through the bay for the day for not even half of of the usual price, and they took us to places that big boat would never go. We had a fantastic day, which we will never forget! There are hundreds of islands and rocks, with luxurious nature, cave and beach. The place is really beautiful, and going by boat is a fantastic experience. I can only recommend you to go to this Klong Khian Pier and ask for the boat trip, this is probably the best place to do it. Here is the G-Map link

The Panyi Fishing Village - Ko Panyi in Andaman Sea

The Ko Panyi island is a fishing village with about 200 families (probably from Indonesia) which is also a good touristic place to visit. You might eat and purchase a few souvenirs. However what stroke me the most was their football pitch and the kids playing football, on such a small place! 

The James Bond Island (The Man with the Golden Gun, 1974) - Ko Khao Phing Kan

You can visit the James Bond Island, Ko Khao Phing Kan not far from the rock Ko Tapu (the big rock which face the island and that everyone takes in photo). This place is simply amazing, where the James Bond movie “The Man with the Golden Gun” was shot in 1974 with Roger Moore and Christopher Lee. You must pay a ticket once arriving on the island, but the landscape is really great! A must see if you’re in Phuket!

Here are the 50 photos of the day trip in Phang Nga Bay shot with Canon 5D MKII, Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L II USM and Canon 24-70mm 2.8 L USM.

Chiang Mai Elephants ride to the village of Long Neck Girls and Other Tribes of Thailand - 45 photos shot with Canon 5D MKII

Elephant show - Camp Maesa, Chiang Mai, Thailand

The Maesa Elephant Camp is probably one of the most famous of Thailand to see elephants making fantastic creative show, with the opportunity to touch, feed and ride them after! I must admit this was one of the main reason my wife wanted to go to Thailand! The show is stunning, and it’s impressive to see how well they paint (you can purchase the paint separately later!), they play sport and dance all together. They really look to be having fun, so it’s pretty nice… especially when you give them food at the end and they scream loud! The Maesa camp is located in the mountains of the region of Chiang Mai, which is a very beautiful place of Thailand.

Elephant ride to the village of Long Neck Girls and other tribes of Thailand

The ride is quite bumpy, but after 45 minutes, you arrive in a very nice place in the jungle, where you have 7 or 8 tribes of Thailand and the Asian region which are living here (definitely done for tourist purposes!). You can see the famous Long Neck Girls, which are really all beautiful and graceful. At same time, you can also purchase few souvenirs. This trip is probably one of the most impressive you can do in Thailand, and you see really kind and beautiful people which are still living very traditionally.

All photos shot with Canon EOS 5D MKII and with Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L II USM and 24-70mm 2.8 L USM.

All my best pictures of Thailand are here - Bangkok, Bangkok Wat Phra Kaeo, Dusit, Renaissance Hotel, Street life of Thailand, People of Thailand, Phuket, Phang Gna, Beach of Thailands, Long Neck Girls, Thai Islands, HD Wallpapers …

Walk on the Thuner see, Thun, Bern, Switzerland (70 photos)

Thuner See: typical postcard landscape Swiss scenery

The lake of Thun is an Alpine lake in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. It took its name from the city of Thun, situated at 558m altitude. We had a very nice walk around the lake, on its northern shore, from Thun to Merligen, where we took a very nice old boat back to Thun. After walking an hour, we found a jump contest (bike and ski), which was quite fun to look at as you can see below. We continued with a little portrait session and then a nice castle facing the lake. The water was deep green, and with the mountains around, the place really looks like typical Swiss Postcard. A great place to go if you pass by Switzerland!

Birds in Vevey, Lac Léman, Switzerland (Suisse)

I went to a Photo Bourse in Vevey, Switzerland, and I found one of the very few remaining Minolta 28-70mm f2.8 G, a real masterpiece. I was walking back to my car when I saw a few birds facing the lake. I needed to test my lens, and the occasion was perfect. The results is sharp, with a very good and warm balance of colors. Hope you like it!
